Fantastic to break from the norm sometimes though!

Hey B - thanks for stopping in~~ I'm 5'4 and weight right now is right at 140...I'm bulking

I'll just be glad when I can start cutting again. Bulking is not good in the summer.

Ok so for the longest time, I have said..... that would be kinda cool to work so hard that you feel nauseated.... After my leg workout last time....nothing! Nothing at all - I was tired, I could barely walk, but no upset stomach... I think I'm incapable of getting sick... damn it!

Posted by: JerseyDevil

I hear people say that all the time. I have never felt like I was going to puke. On an intense set of squats though, I feel close to blacking out.

Posted by: SamEaston

Yeah - me too. Even when we were doing 1 minute sprints on the rowing machines with a 30s break, until we literally fell off the machine. I was VERY dizzy with blurred vision - but nada on the pukey front.

It makes me wonder though, because some of my team mates would always puke after a race - so i wonder if i subconsiously hold myself back a little? I don't know. It doesn't feel as if i do but who knows

Beautiful workout Katt - as always

That was a crazy video... I have notice one guy that does the powerlift thing at our gym and wears the suit.... man, they look like you can't even breathe in those things ! I think I would truly hurt myself if I tried something like that... it would be down on my chest and I'd be there saying.."ok,,,it's crushing my chest,,,,,I ....can't......breathe......

On the other note...I'm really curious to see how my back turns out once I diet down...

How much for the Rickenbacker?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

You know the Rick!!! I'm impressed!!!!! That Rick was a special order and we've had it for a little while now. It's one of those special order 2000 year models.

Are you really interested? I could check with my husband if you are.

Do you play?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

The sunburst and the black one on the left are '82 Smith Strats.
The red and yellow Strats in the middle are '57 RI.
The Sienna Burst (behind the yellow strat) is another '82 Smith.
The Maple w/ black pickguard is an original '77 Strat. MINT CONDITION. It was a one-owner guitar that this guy bought for himself the day he graduated high school and he never played it much. I have the OHSC for that one.

Yup, played for about 11+ years now. I was just curious about the Rick, it's a nice guitar - good sound. Don't worry about it - don't need a new axe just yet....Thanks though....

Like your collection.

Thanks a bunch.

Yeah, I think that Rick is my favorite. You just can't beat the 12 string sound

Being on gear is h a uuuge! Whether it's mental or not, my strength is so, so, uber high right now. I did up my dosage on the primo last this week I'm taking 50 mg per day opposed to 25. I won't do another cycle.. so I say now. It's expensive and I'm not making it my life, so it's really not worth it to me. I just wanted that little "extra",, and I eat ALOT of food and the thing that really freaks me out (kinda) is the not being sore at all.. you can workout like a maniac every day and the next day... nothing,,, no soreness , granted I'm a littled tired at times.. but for example when I do a really hard leg day and the doms set in, and you can't sit down for about 3 days,, now it's not even there.

Naturally without,, I was making progress, but at my age, progress is a slow thing - so I thought about it, and said "wtf".. Either I'm going to try it, or always wonder what would have happened.

Exactly where I was at 3 years ago. I always wondered what it would be like to juice, so I did. Like most things you do in life, I'm glad I did in some ways, and wish I hadn't in other ways. One thing is for sure, it is a blast juicing and watching your strength and mass go up quickly.

My main concern with ever doing it was what happens when you are done with your cycle. I have this major fear of a psychological breakdown when you watch your strength and your size and your probably cutness go bye bye when the cycle is over. Is it super difficult to keep the gains you made while on?

For example, if I were to try a cycle, and wound up getting let's say a 450 bench at the end of the cycle, 8 weeks later would I still be able to keep that strength, or would I lose it all and be back where I was naturally?

And as far as physique goes, what happens to that? Do you just suddenly lose your cutness even while following a strict diet? I imagine if you play it right you might be able to keep most of your "mass" but you will lose your definition? Is that accurate?

A lot depends on the type of cycle you are running. The first ones I tried were prohormones, and my strength shot up quickly. But at least for me, my strength gains fell about as fast as they went up once off. You hear of people doing dbol only cycles. You can expect pretty much the same result.

Now a testosterone enanthate or cypionate cycle, your gains will come slower, but will last a lot longer. If you get to 450 on a test cycle, then 8 weeks later I suspect you could still do 435-440. Evenually though, you will drop back to where you started. This is my biggest problem with doing a cycle in the first place. Unless you are planning on running cycles for your entire weight lifting career, then it is just a temporary science experiment

. Once you start, it is hard to quit and still love to train.

Cutness. During a steroid cycle, your bf usually goes down, and mass up, but most cycles actually cause you to bloat due to water retention. Many pro's use tren while cutting for a contest to retain muscle mass, but the diet must be spot on, and they don't necessarily gain much strength. If you use tren and eat to bulk, your stength will go thru the roof, but you won't get cut either.

Everything is a trade off.

so other than as a "just to see" type of thing, unless there is a specific reason for it, you see no reason to do it?

Of course. hcg and tamoxifen citrate. 4AD was actually pretty good, but definitely not as effective as injectable testosterone.

Today is good! I'm really liking the "look" that I am achieving.... I really really hope that I can keep it, or close to it, after we are done with this cycle.. I'm hoping if I keep my diet on track and keep my protein intake high, that I can keep most of the gains I have (can you see me crossing my fingers???)

Some days I get a little grumpy - I think it's the time of year, it's soo extremely busy for me.. since I've been putting so much toward training, my garden is sucking big time, and our home remodeling is going at a snails pace right now..

But... one day at a time... right?

Well you are using primo and anavar which both allow you to have long lasting gains. I read somewhere men receiving just anavar at doses of like 20mg kept off the fat they lost for months.

Your Standing Bar Military Press numbers are incredible Katt! I quite like the look of those actually, i might throw them in to my next program.

I feel your pain on Front raises. . . . . i love 'em and hate 'em at the same time!

what Sam said!
Nice mil presses!

yes, I have to third what everyone else is saying, awesome standing BB press!

Posted by: katt

Thanks everyone!! I was a little surprised how much weight I could do with the oly bar... kinda weird.

Posted by: fufu

noice overhead presses.

Those rear lat raises are tough stuff!

Today was back

Neutral grip pull ups (On straight pegs)
1x6
1x5
1x4 + 1 negative

Cable One Arm Row
(50) 1x8
(60) 1x8
(70) 1x8 - holding on the contraction on each set

Straight arm push downs
(85) 1x10
(95) 1x8
(110) 1x7 again holding on the contraction

Hammer Strength High Row
(45 ea side) 1x8
(55) 1x10
(65) 1x8

Rack Pulls
(115) 1x10
(135) 1x10
(185) fail

(175) 1x8

I really don't know why I couldn't get the bar off the racks at 185... maybe my stance wasn't wide enough..

Posted by: Burner02

hey! WOW! you did BW pull ups? AWESOME!
Did u just not have the 'gas' to pull it? Could you not budge it, or how did u not get it up?
...and the simple answer of it possibly just not your day for that weight...

Posted by: katt

I really don't know what the f@#k happened there... I mean I took off 10 pounds at did 7.... I just couldn't for some reason get the bar off the rack

And the pullups -YAY!! they were on the pegs, so prob a cross between a chin & pullup... You have NO IDEA how long I've been working on getting those mastered....

Posted by: Burner02

shrug it off...some days you're on..others...you wondered why you even went to the gym...it'll go up next time!

It was probably just too heavy, no big deal. sometimes the smallest weight increases just feel like tons. Although, it is odd that you could do 8 reps at 175 but couldn't move the bar at only 10 pounds more

Oh, and I would do low reps for the rack pulls, do sets of 3 or something like that and go heavy, I don't see the point in doing high rep rack pulls....

One last thing...use the stance that you would use to deadlift to do these, it is essentially just a helper move for the lockout portion of the deadlift, so just use your strongest stance whatever that may be

Posted by: katt

K - well I just looked them up, and I had the bar set just below my knees, not above..... maybe that was the difference this time

Posted by: Burner02

stew's da man!

Posted by: Burner02

I never liked rack deads. Feels like there is only a couple inch ROM...I had the safety bars at the lowest..and had to stand on 3 45lb plates to get the bar under my knees to feel like I was getting any use of it...too much effort in set up...stuck w/ regular deads...

What do the guys in the gym think of you? And what do the guys say when you outlift them?

I get a few stares.... right now I wear baggy shirts/sweats in the morning when we usually workout, so no one really notices my "growth"... but if we go in during an off time, I wear my usual fitting tank, and I do notice quite a few that are staring.... which still makes me a little nervous,, well, nervous isn't really the word I am looking for... uncomfortable...hmm.. weird.. well, whatever

Lets just say I'm not used to to yet.

It doesn't sound dumb.... I do as many as I can, then my husband helps me up to the top again, then I come down very slowly after I can no longer hold the contraction at the top. It hurts like hell!

Posted by: Scarface30

I can imagine! thanks for enlightening me, I'll definitely have to give that a try sometime.

Ok, I seriously need to get over the "weight on my shoulders" freak out.. I was good with the 45's, then when the extra 20 on and I unracked it, I was like "shit"... then when did the first rep, it was like "ok I can do this"

(335) 1x12 - sheeeeett that hurt

That was enough for this morning... finish up tonight!!

Posted by: Brutus_G

I get that sometimes when squatting your like shit i got alot of weight on my back. I got over it by just adding 50 pounds to my 1RM and just unracking it and holding for 10-20secs. Your looking strong katt keep it up girl!

Posted by: katt

I've never done a 1RM, or whatever that is... so you suggest I load more weight on and just hold it there?

yeah it will make a difference its all mental

walkouts.

you could also just walk it out and do a little 1/4 squat too....partials (but don't use that method to often as it is supermaximal).

If you want, on the walkouts, you can walk it out, stand there and perform shrugs with the bar on your back (hise shrugs).....another confidence booster.

Great workout, kid.
